ABSTRACT:
A system utilizing membrane extraction is provided to recover metal values. The system may be used to separate metal ions from an aqueous solution through the membrane by an organic liquid containing a chelating agent. This invention also contemplates the recovery of metal values from an organic phase, containing the metal complexed with a chelating agent, by an aqueous phase using membrane extraction. In the former case, the metal ion is passed through the membrane from the aqueous phase to the organic phase where it forms a complex with a chelating agent present in the organic phase. In the latter case the metal is extracted from the organic phase into the aqueous phase through the membrane. In both cases a chelating exchange reaction is involved at the interface between the membrane and one of the two phases. This hydro-metallurgical process employs membranes with metal ion diffusivity in the range of about 10.sup..sup.-5 to about 10.sup..sup.-8 cm.sup.2 /sec. and has advantages over conventional metal extractions and may be applied as the mechanism is pollutant removal and recovery as well as for metallurgical separations.
